This is more a point of principle than of comfort, practicality or aesthetics, though, isn't it?
After all, flying Aer Lingus to Shannon is just as shít as flying Ryanair to Shannon (as I know from recent experience). The passengers are just as ghastly, the seating just as uncomfortble and the attempts to gouge money out of you for mundane things just as blatant.
Because it is not a budget airline, but a national carrier - however wánk. And I think I'm right in saying that if you needed to take a short flight somewhere and had the choice between Aer Lingus and Ryanair, your conscience would cause you to choose the former. Am I wrong?
What of Norwegian? They've brought a budget-type model to transatlantic flights, but aren't actually terrible. Are they 'budget'.
And they have pictures of famous Norwegians on the tails of their planes, which always makes me chuckle, as you've generally only heard of one in three.
v was booked on a Norwegian flight to JFK by her work last week. They apparently have a 'premium' cabin, which she reported was perfectly comfortable.
I would have refused to set foot upon the aircraft. I would rather fly American or even United.
At least they pay their crews a living wage.
